Unexpected

This poem was written when I was given a note card with 10 words on it. The 10 words were to be the last word of each line, in order that they were written on the note card. There had to be 9 words and 9 words only in each line of the poem. I hope you enjoy it! :)

She was never a girl they would call sensitive. So rough and tough, how is she in love? In most cases she would go with the flow. Normally no one could get her shell to break But now this boy who plays his crazy music Is able to give her heart some inner peace. You will never see in this relationship any tears. This boy, she will always have as a memory. No one will see them and feel contempt; They will all just look at them and smile.
